ing protective Colony, The positions
being now reversed, We suppose we
shall have the advocates OF protection
following the example OF free traders.
But in truth the revenue decrease in
New South Wales is not caused by its fis-
cal policy. 1t is the inevitable reaction
from the forcing process, by means OF
reckless borrowing, which successive
Governments practiced. This reaction
was bound to come, and now that Sir
Henry Parkes has been again called to
power, he will have an opportunity Of
restoring the financial equilibrium which
he did so much TO destroy.
The deficit in New South Wales has
alarmed investors, and was a serious
drawback to the Victorian loan of
G3, 100000 ($15, OOO, OOO) which was
placed in London, January goth. This
was a 4 per cent loan, the minimum
being fixed at G1O2. The total amount
rendered for was 9IO, 194, 800 $50, 972, :
500, of which a syndicate rendered for
100000 600 at e1O2 los 10d, nearly one
per cent above the minimum. The official
average is G102 los 4d. Sixty per cent
of the loan will be allotted at the mini
mum. Considering the state of the
money market and the enormous Colon
ial borrowing, this result must be re-
garded as favorable, but Victoria an
ticipated better terms.
The Premier Of New Zealand, Sir Rob
ert Stout, has taken the hint, and an
nOunced in public speech that the Col
ony must do without further borrowing.
This will involve increased taxation,
although it is now very Onerous. How
the Colonial Treasurer, Sir Julius Vogel,
can fall in with this view is a problem
hard to explain, seeing that he was the
author of the borrowing policy" But
the Premier appears to be correct in his
judgment of the situation. The limit of
borrowing has been reached for New
Zealand, as for the other Australasian
Colonies, at least for many years to
come, if safe finance is to be estab-
lished.
1t is noteworthy fact that with the
exception of Victoria the Colonial rail
roads are not productive to the extent an
ticipated; indeed, they do not, as a
whole, pay interest and running ex-
penses. This may be the result OF inef-
fcient management to some extent, but
we suspect it is mainly caused by the
construction of railroads in advance of
local requirements.

The Boat Accident.

Captain Rice has forwarded the follow
ing communication to the Minister of
the Interior:
To His Excellency l.. AhOlO, Minister of
the Interior-Sir; l regret to have to re-
port that a collision occurred on Monday,
the 18th instant, between the steam tug
Eleu. under my command, and whale
boat belonging to Capt. BabcOck, a pilot of
this port. 1 was proceeding out of the
harbor taking provisions to the whaling
bark Ohio, which was lying outside, and
when near the bark Josephine, also lying
outside, Captain Mcdonald wishing to
speak that vessel l approached her, and as
l ran close to the starbOard quarter of
that vessel, the whalebOat came around
from the port quarter and | did not dis
cover her, my attention being given to the
ship l was nearing, until too late to stop
the Roadway of the tug, which collided
with the boat, damaging the same con-
siderable and capsizing the occupants into
the sea. l sincerely regret this accident,
and its nearly fatal effect to those in the
boat But 1 feel that it was an unavoida-
BILE accident, that the best of care could
not prevent under the circumstances. I
feel it my duty to report this matter to
Your Excellency, and also beg to submit
herewith the evidence of Captains Lapham
of the Josephine and Mcdonald of the
Ohio, which is voluntarily given in my be-
half.
Your Excellency's obedient servant,
JOHN RICE,

1t has been suggested that, in order to
